Re: Cancel/Return Home Internet Equipment
mrcubs you are dead on. It could be even worse. My Gateway locked up my laptop and would not reboot. I had a $125 repair bill to undo the damage the T-Mobile's Gateway router did to my laptops boot files. All devices constantly disconnect. My other laptop won't stay connect for more then 5 minutes. This is the absolute worst internet service I've EVER had. By the way a T-Mobile tech support person admitted where I live I would have terrible service. So why is T-Mobile selling service they know won't work?Re: I was skeptical, but a fan does seem to help
I bought this $17 UBS fan on Amazon. It's totally silent and I'd estimate the Gateway top went from 110 to 120 degrees to below room temp. It's cool to the touch now. My device drop outs so far have stopped. In Florida it rains SO much it's hard to measure speeds. All over the map from 23 mbps to 85. It's not fast but so far meets my needs. Wi fi disconnections was the #1 problem with this Gateway and the new fan seems to have solved that. So thanks for the great fan tip. The easy solution is usually the best solution.

I talked to T-Mobile support. They are aware of this "ipad" issue and are trying to come up with a fix. Replacing ipads won't make any difference. The decent thing for them to do would be to send out a broadcast e-mail to customers so folks won't waste money and time buying new ipads. But I guess they are just gutless cowards.
